[ZendTo] Issue with Installation on CentOS 7.

[Daniel Bird]

I'd be happy with the installer stopping and explaining why.   Other's may want a more scripted solution but I would say that IF you are using Kickstart like us, and do crazy things like this, then you should be in a position to fix your own breakage. ;-)
Of course, this wouldn't affect truly clean installs. 
Cheers

Dan,

Interesting.

So I could do something like this:
yum repolist all | grep -e -q '^\**epel[[:space:]]'

If that returns successfully, then EPEL is already installed.

At which point if I do
yum repolist all | grep -e -q '^\**epel[[:space:]].*disabled'

and it returns successfully, I know it needs enabling before I go any further.

Whether I do that by editing your existing epel.repo file, or by stopping completely and explaining why I've stopped, is a question you're probably better able to answer than I am.

Which should I do?

Thanks!
Jules.

Hi Jules,
We actually figured this out a short time ago. 
 
Our Kickstart build installs the EPEL repo by default, but we disable it during kickstart post. 
 
Of course, your install script also installs EPEL, but since the epel.repo file exists, it installs an epel.repo.new and keeps using our file in which EPEL is disabled. 
 
Manually ensuring enabled=1 in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo before running the installer fixed it.

Anthony,

Did you respond to *any* of the questions it asked you with any key except just pressing Return?

I suspect you managed to respond with a space somewhere, or something like that.
Try running stage 4 again, and just keep pressing Return and nothing else. You can run the stage 4 script (it's in the CentOS-RedHat subdirectory) on its own, or else just run the whole installer again and tell it not to do stages 1 to 3.

Cheers,
Jules.

Hi 
 
I am trying to install the latest version of Zendto on a new CentOS7 server.
 
I have followed your instructions on your web page (http://zend.to/downloads.php#installer), however I have encountered the following error message at the end of a task 4.
 
"Building the RPM for php-pecl-apcu failed.
Do not worry, I have a patch which might fix this.
I will apply it and try again.

Something went wrong, and the RPMs for php-pecl-apcu were
not built successfully. Please go back through the output from this
and try to fix what went wrong (usually something that should
be installed but was not).
Then run this script again.
Exiting..."
 
su -
/opt/zendto/bin/adduser.php
That will show you the syntax. Use it to add a single test user.
Then login to the website and drop off some files.
 
Now go and configure ZendTo itself in
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php and
/opt/zendto/config/zendto.conf
 
For help configuring ZendTo for Active Directory, see
http://zend.to/activedirectory.php"
 
 
Any assistant would help, as I didn't install the software before.
